🎎PLUM BLOSSOM FESTIVAL🌸

In the Kyōto calendar there are a few times each year when the public is able to rub shoulders with maiko and geiko for a small fee.
During 'Baika-sai' (梅花祭) geisha and maiko serve tea beside Kitano Tenman-gū's (北野天満宮) plum orchard.

The February 25th 'Plum Blossom Festival' (梅花祭), 'Baika-sai', commemorates Sugawara-no-Michizane's (菅原道真) tragic death in 903.

Brought down by his enemies, Michizane was exiled in all-but-name to a demoted post in Dazaifu (大宰府), Kyūshū.
He deeply loved plum blossoms, and it is said one flew from his home to be with him in exile.
